33 from Zebulun, experienced soldiers prepared for battle with every type of weapon, to help David with undivided loyalty-50,000;
33 Of Zebulun 50,000 seasoned troops, equipped for battle with all the weapons of war, to help David
33 from Zebulun, 50,000 well-equipped veteran warriors, unswervingly loyal;
33 of Zebulun there were fifty thousand who went out to battle, expert in war with all weapons of war, stouthearted men who could keep ranks;
33 From the tribe of Zebulun, there were 50,000 skilled warriors. They were fully armed and prepared for battle and completely loyal to David.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:33
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:23-40
(Read 1 Chronicles 12:23-40)
When the throne of Christ is set up in a soul, there is, or ought to be, great joy in that soul; and provision is made, not as here, for a few days, but for the whole life, and for eternity. Happy are those who wisely perceive it to be their duty and interest, to submit to the Saviour Jesus Christ, the Son of David; who renounce for his sake all that is not consistent; whose earnest endeavours to do good are directed by the wisdom that God giveth, through acquaintance with his word, experience, and observation. If any man lack this wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him.
